<p>
<em>The US FCC has recently approved transmissions by AIS SART devices.  These devices were originally designed for SOLAS class ships as an alternative to radar SARTs for carriage on life boats, but the efficiency of design has encouraged applications down to man-over-board devices</em>.
</p>

<p>
Search And Rescue Transponders (SART) or PLB transmitting AIS messages are now available on the market. In an emergency situation the position  will be displayed as an AIS target in  OpenCPN. AIS SART can be a device on a vessel, in a life raft or a personal Man Over Board (MOB) device. MMSI always begins with 97.

<p>
This section includes “Unknown” SART, <strong>SART Alerts</strong> which <strong>Do NOT</strong> have <strong>MMSI numbers</strong> entered into the <strong>MMSI List</strong> as MOB. Listed MMSI SART Alerts also have this type of alert. The common notice or alert is that the icon below marks an <strong>emergency</strong>.

</p>

<p>
In OpenCPN a distress signal sent by a  SART, triggers a visual alert (red explosion bubble) and a warning sound (if activated in the ToolBox–&gt;AIS Tab).

</p>

<p>
There is no <strong>Automatic creation of a Route</strong> to the SART for <strong>MMSI numbers</strong> <em>not</em> entered into the <strong>MMSI List</strong>. 
</p>

<p>
Currently the easiest way to create a Route from Ship to SART is to pick <strong>Jump to Target</strong> from <strong>Target Info</strong> and then <strong>Right Click</strong> on the SART Alert Icon and pick <strong>Navigate to this</strong> which will create and set the <strong>Route Active</strong>.

<p>
Once the alert is <em><strong>Acknowledged</strong></em>, the target behaves as any other AIS target. In the picture below the cursor is over the target. The SART target will persist on screen for 18 minutes after the last transmission irrespective of other settings for AIS.
<strong>SART alerts always have priority over DSC and CPA alerts.</strong>

<p>
If you and your crew have AIS Sart PLB personal locator beacons, transmitting AIS emergency messages, and the MMSI number of each device is entered in <em>Options→Ships→MMSI Properties→New</em>, OpenCPN (from version 4.0)  will automatically work as a <em>man overboard tracking device</em>.

<p>
In particular, each Crew Member&#039;s MMSI must be properly recorded and set up for <a href="../man_overboard.html#mob_activated_automatically" class="wikilink1" title="opencpn:opencpn_user_manual:toolbar_buttons:man_overboard">&quot;Automatic MOB Activation&quot;</a> in <em>Options &gt; Charts &gt; Ship &gt; MMSI list</em>.

<p>
When the AIS-Sart occurs and becomes “Active” (showing up at the top of the AIS Target List), there is a new heavy blue “Temporary MOB Route” created from the Ship to the SART, that is not “Activated” yet. Also the Active SART has a red explosion bubble around it and the heavy blue “temporary MOB route” is automatically inserted into the Route Manager along with a MOB waypoint.
</p>

</div>

<h4 id="ais_sart_temporary_mob_route_is_activated">AIS Sart &quot;Temporary MOB Route&quot; is Activated</h4>
<div class="level4">

<p>
When the automatically created “Temporary MOB Route” (shown as a heavy blue line), is activated by a Right Click, or in Route Manager, the “Active Route Console” Window appears on the right side of the screen and the route is from Ship to MOB.

After any Crew member SART MOB (MMSI entered into MMSI List) has occurred and is completed, there is an 18 minute period during which the MOB continues to show (typical). Then after that there will be continue to be artifacts left in the “Route Manager” which is very good, because they provide a backup to continue the search. Each screen shows a different artifact.

When Alert is active, find the Alert&#039;s MMSI number in the AIS Target List. Then Add a “New” MMSI number in Options→Ships→MMSI. Then Edit the Options→Ships→MMSI Properties to “ignore” this target. Then close the Options Dialog. Then “Acknowledge” the SART alert one more time, and no further alerts will be seen. If you restart OCPN, you will never get alerts for this target again. To simulate a SART Alarm run this  <a href="../../opencpn/files/nmea/sart-alarms.txt.doc" class="media mediafile mf_doc" title="opencpn:files:nmea:sart-alarms.txt.doc (326.8 KB)">Sart Alarm Nmea File</a> in VDR player.

It is possible to test a SART, to make sure it works. If the AIS-MOB-PLB has a testing function that can be activated, there is a test mode which uses a different icon.  (We would very much like a VDR recording of this to provide an download dry test.)
